Is the USA a christian nation based on judeo-christian principles?

[anynameyouwish]

I think it is. One Nation under God!

"One nation, under God" was added to the pledge when?

1955

What mortimer means is....

the USA IS (goddamnit) a CHRISTIAN NATION

our LAWS MUST be based on the CHRISTIAN BIBLE (so that means laws against gays, women submit to their christian husbands and atheists will be lucky if we LET them live here as second class citizens....or slaves....)

our COUNTRY and our GOVERNMENT BELONG to christians

and everyone else had better just shut up.

right morty?

The founders believed that no law should be written that went against the natural law. All that changed when the democrats took control in the 1820’s.

But the final nail in the coffin was in the late 1800’s when legal positivism took hold.

At he least you need Camel Straights , Lucky Strikes , Pall Malls or learn to roll yer own . Also good are Sherms or small ceeeeegars like Backwoods Originals . Ya gotta get rid of the filter as it show wussiness and fear for your health Mort .

Greed and wealth aren't Judeo-Christian values.

It was a Christian nation till 1948 when it then became a Judeo-Christian nation. It was White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) nation before that and still is according to Republicans.

False. The U.S. was never intended to be and never has been a Christian nation.

In the U.S., we are by definition a secular nation -- there was considerable debate among the Founding Fathers about the entire god issue-- and the constitution is quite secular.

Look for the words "jeebus", "god", "Yahweh" in the US Constitution. You will not find them.

One can argue far better that having come from theocracies themselves the Founding Fathers were very much aware of the dangers of blending religion and government. Even if they personally believed -- they purposely ratified a constitution that was totally secular in nature (and intent). They clearly did not wish to eradicate religion which is why they enacted a muzzle on government to keep religious expression free. However, the result of this means the gov't cannot exalt one religion over another. Keep Christianity in culture, whether or not Christianity is dominant or not, but do not allow the government to assert it or any other religion over the other. The only way to do that is to be neutral on the issue of religion at all. As the country does become more diversified and embraces more religious beliefs (including none) the Constitution is designed to evolve to include those concerns. The Founding Fathers would, I believe, note their legal design has worked quite well.

USA Constitution Preamble
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
CSA Constitution Preamble
We, the people of the Confederate States, each State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to form a permanent federal government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Confederate States of America.

So then the USA would be a Christian Nation in the sovereign and independent character of all States.

Well, the Government has been in the Practice of suppressing a Certain Way of Expressing America, haven't they? Perhaps Puritan Pilgrims, fleeing Moderate Persecution under the Anglicans, followed Cromwell's motto "God is King", to create a new City on a Hill Homeland, to a new Promised Land, "hail Columbia" "my Country tis of Thee", with "Manifest Destiny" to the west Coast. They further converted the nation to Presbyterianism. They finally broke the ancient enemy from the start of the Protestant Reformation in World War 1, the Austrian Hapsburgs. They are far and inbetween promoting the historical extension of the Christian outlook of America.

the Almighty on a dollar bill is a travesty - 4th century christians know no bounds of humility, cowardly to their core.

Socialist like yourself have sought to subordinate religion.

So I would expect you to believe that.

Socialist like yourself have sought to subordinate religion.

so says the 4th century christian that subverted the religion of antiquity and the events of the 1st century into a 10,000 page political document disguised as a religion. and did the same to our nations currency and anthem, there are no bounds to your greed is another way of putting it.

I don’t know which religion of antiquity you are referring to and apparently neither do you since you can’t name it.

You keep referring to the 4th century but you cannot show one single example of a religious belief or practice that was different than the 1st century.

It’s almost like you are a subversive socialist who is trying to subordinate the dominant religion of the land. Something filthy deceitful socialists always do.

I don’t know which religion of antiquity you are referring to and apparently neither do you since you can’t name it.

there is only one religion of antiquity ...The Triumph of Good vs Evil - you simply refuse to acknowledge the disparity the desert religions have regress from the original prescription they were instructed to follow. you've been informed more times than you deserve of your own transgression.

You keep referring to the 4th century but you cannot show one single example of a religious belief or practice that was different than the 1st century.

just recently, your soliloquy, the apostles creed written in the 4th century you used for your belief in the false religion of christianity. the opposite of the fundamental message of the prescribed religion and its revival in the 1st century events and their representation.


it is you who is unwilling to answer the simple question - - what sins are you unable to stop committing, christian. though purely rhetorical as you display them on a daily basis. and yes, in your case uncontrollably.

There are many religions because there are many perceptions of God. But there is only one God.

He doesn’t care which name we call him. Only that we call him.

You can’t name your religion because your religion is socialism and your god is materialism.

What's strange is the USA is not mentioned in the Biblical prophecies and during the end times.

Many Bible scholars think that the USA will not believe in God anymore during the end times. They will likely end up rejecting God and turning against Israel like other countries.

Based on this book -- Understanding End-Times Prophecy: A Comprehensive Approach.

This is really long, but those who back Israel, i.e. Israeli view, have an explanation -- America and the End Times.

no jerk, just an idea of what sins a christian can not stop committing - that you need a phony messiah to save you from where you must belong. that of a deceit.

with the proper Triumph they will reject the phony desert religions to be granted Admission to the Everlasting as their just and final judgement.

Anyway, what may support this end times theory is the statement that no true republic has lasted longer than three hundred years. However, I do not have the expertise to say this is for certain.
